Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse police are looking for the person responsible for slashing the tires on about 25 vehicles overnight on the city’s Eastside.

Tires were slashed in the 100 and 200 blocks of Fenway Drive, the 500 and 600 blocks of Dakin Street, the 500 block of Genesee Park Drive, the 2600 block of East Genesee Street and the 100 block of Ferris Avenue.

The vehicles were parked on the road and in the driveways of homes when someone slashed the tires. Some cars had just one tire slashed, police said, while others had up to all four tires slashed.

Some of the victims believed the tires were slashed between 8 and 9 p.m. Friday, police said. Some victims reported that they heard the air being released but did not see any suspects.
